Hermès New York City Stores

[DoggieBags]

Hi! I am going to NYC for work (I am European) and would like to stop by one of the boutiques (my home store is not very big). Any recommendations? (I am not looking for anything specifically).

Thanks!

Madison is the flagship and should have the most stock of the 3 stores. It’s actually 2 stores on opposite sides of the street. Men’s wear in one building, everything else in the other building. However, stock in all 3 stores is still low and has not recovered to anywhere near pre-COVID levels. The Meatpacking store on Gansevoort is the newest of the 3 and has a more casual feel. It’s lighter, brighter, more open in design than Madison. Wall Street is the smallest of the three. If you’re planning on browsing then I suggest you try both Madison and MP and see which you like better. Madison will be moving to a bigger space a block away from it’s current location some time in September if you happen to be coming to NY later this year. The new space will merge both men’s and women’s into one building which will make for much more convenient shopping.

Is Kelly Danse a quota bag in NY boutiques? Or does it depend on the store, manager, or SA?

I was told Danse is not a QB when I got mine a couple weeks ago at Meatpacking.

I’m like this. The vast majority of my bags are Hermes. When I get tired, I switch briefly to chanel or other. Then I come back somewhat refreshed lol

my SA recently answered in the most amazing fashion through a kelly 25 touche offer. I am slowly getting into exotics, but as a beginner, I think the touche is the perfect combination for this transition. Would love to have the perfect pastel color though !

It’s possible bc stock of all coveted bags (QB and nonQB) is so low, and demand is so high, that accepting a picotin might possibly delay a QB offer a bit further. But, a 1:1 ratio, without other mitigating factors, honestly doesn’t seem remotely close to offer, and all of this is speculation anyway. If a customer feels entitled to a QB within y date, after purchasing x amount, I think they may be disappointed. BC there will be bigger customers who don’t worry about prespend.

yes, i have to agree with you on this one. The NY stores are pretty competitive too. But honestly, I just love the brand so much that I let my SA help in building my collection. I would say don’t rush & just buy what you like. It’s easier said than done but patience goes a long way when it comes to the H journey.

Congratulations on scoring a beauty!!
my friend who shops at Madison was told that Danse is now quota, so I am not sure.

Definitely agree. I think if it's a person's first in-store QB or came from Asia where the process might be more exact, there might be more anxiety when the "threshold" has seemingly been met.

when in doubt, best to ask your SA since ultimately it’s your SA who will determine what bag offers you get.

Thank you! I have been buying from hermes here and there for the past 8 years and just started seriously getting into it last year after I was able to responsibly afford my purchases. Been really into the brand for a long time and my SA has been helping me build out my Hermes closet. However, most of the items I'd want be it shoes, accessories, jewelry and watches are always not available... I am seeing from this forum that stock has been low across every department since covid started, so I might have started my H journey at a bad time.

A friend of mine just visited 2 of the nyc boutiques and they told me stock still appears to be depleted in the NY stores. Quite honestly, I have no idea why this is so prolonged in just this city. But, I'm hoping things improve. My wishlist is getting larger and larger and I just feel lazy going into the store only to be told the items I want are out of stock.

If you have an SA. Text them and let them know your wishlist so they can source it before you go in. Or just go in once and build a relationship and they’ll source it for you and text you once they have everything.

I’m at MP as well. And I’m also told it’s not a quota. I first requested for it about 2 years ago (summer) when Covid first opened back up in NY. Bought some shoes and fashion jewelry and was offered one 2 weeks later via text. But I declined since it wasn’t the color I was looking for. I’ve since declined 3 others and it took 2 years to get mine in rose Sakura. So they do get a few in. But less stock probably than say more popular picotins and lindys. But SA told me my bag is non quota and will count towards my spending for my QB. Hope this helps.

Accepted a gold epsom B25 sellier, phw, from my SA. Am absolutely thrilled especially bc I was vacillating as to what type of B25 would work with my style. Pics cross posted from 2022 offers and last H purchase thread. First two pics are in the boutique . H sundress, techno zip jacket and croc chaine d’ancre bag

note: I had declined B30 offers (a B30 touch and a B30 ostrich) earlier this year, but this is my first B25 offer.
